Tangalle Beach

Tangalle and Hambantota are located on the south east coast near Yala National park and are popular locations for snorkeling and diving. Both are beautiful natural bays fringed with palm trees and are ideal locations to soak up the sun. The seas are slightly rougher than other coastal areas on the eastern coast, yet the soft golden beaches and clear water attract many tourists with views of beautiful coral reefs and jewel hued fish. Sea turtles are commonly spotted along the reef and even visit the shore at night to lay their eggs. Other wildlife is commonly spotted wondering on the shore and the neighboring jungle areas.
